New York Sun
Here is pointer for the hot spell:
The Chinese of this city who have
been converted to Christianity hare for
Saken their national costume as well as
their native religion. and have adopted
the dress of civilization. 1t. appears,
though, that this heated term has driven
many of them back to their-eld clothes
of light and gauzy Chinese materials,
wherewith they nSed to be clad in COM
fort and grace before they adopted the
heavy and uninteresting garments of
the Occident. Ss<
They may stick to their new religious
principles. but back they go to their cid
clothes when the thermometer rises too
high.
Can there be any better proof that the
Chinese system of dress is better adapted
TO American weather than the ordinary
American clothes are? Certainly it is
handSOmer, .>.- s.- ..
Why, then. should we not all indulge
in the beautiful tunicS of Chinese silk
which used to add such brilliant charms
to the Celestial figure? They are light,
they are beautiful, and we have no
doubt that TO great majority of Ameri-
need not wear more beneath them than
you wish. Besides, they are said to be
such as the wind can blow through.
With the American coat the wind has
10 chance. The most it can do is to
blow through mans whiSkerS. What
iOy it would be if cooling breeze
were not confined to mans brow!
Here, then, seems to be the ideal COS
tune for summer. Even the flannel
shirt is inferior to the Chinese blouse.
And the American hat can still be worn.

RECONCILIATION,

Let us kiss and make up, we've had troubles
enough,
Let's have done with our quarrels and be
friendly again;
There is naught TO be gained by this game Of
bluff
And God knows our hearts have felt enough
pain;
Let MS change frown and coldness for kiss
and embrace;
And pledge ourselves always to drink the
same cup;
Let us drink of sweet bliss until not a trace
is felt of the pain; let us kiss and make up.
Let us kiss and make up. life is trying at
best,
And the pathway is rough that you and
tread;
Why walk VIC apart when by travelling
abreast
We can comfort each other until life is fed:
We have quarreled. It's true, but ah! must
the stain
OF our quarrel forever embitter life's cup.
Come let us embrace-let us be one again
Sweet friends as Of old; let us kiss nd

From Paradise it flew,
Out to the world, with wayering plumage
gay,
When on Creations glad, awakening day
The morning wore the dew.
1t is not nightingale or lark.
Oh, diviner bird!
In moon-tOuched forests, sweet with night

In dawn-stirred meadows. when the spring

It's voice was never heard.
It's nest: In bows of endless bloom,
Nowhere, that we can see.
The winds have never found it, and the
of wasting autumns beat the leaves in

On that immortal tree.
Its age-its country! No man knows.
Born for the worlds delight
No bird that goes through splendors of the

Or homeward comes down quiet twilights
drawn,
Has wings for such far flight
Can NO one find it? All the world
Is seeking it-afar.
Each in his turn has cried. 40, it is mine ~
Oh, bitter-sweet! Still is the Joy divine
Farther than flower from star.
